Project Formation Cont'd

From Day 6:

I would like everyone to fill in at least one Project idea in Project Ideas/Team Formation gdoc and email me a link (+description) to that project idea in email to yee@berkeley.edu by Monday, Feb 11, 2013 at noon.

If you've not identified yourself with a specific project within this Google Document, do so in class. We will spend time going around the room quickly introducing the project ideas.
